Glenn said he hasn't invited Trump to join him on the campaign trail

Washington (CNN)Republican Colorado Senate candidate Darryl Glenn said Friday he welcomed Donald Trump's visit to the state -- but the two won't be appearing together and Glenn hasn't formally endorsed the presumptive Republican nominee.

"He does not hurt us. ... We will rally and, at the end of the day, make sure we deliver Colorado for the Republicans," he said.
